The history of the peapod says the design originates in the Penobscot ME area, probably related to birchbark canoe design. I question this, since Norwegians never stopped building boats in this shape and could have been in Maine at the time. It is probably a mixture of these things. Note the high stern and bow, together with the flat bottom mid-ship, means seaworthy and stable.
I am calling the boat "Rosie", after a faithful dog that belonged to a friend. See here.
